Bay Bulls council has approved new speedbumps for three more places intown.
Deputy Mayor Jason O’Brien made the motion to implement the so-called Speed Bump Location Plan at last week’s monthly public meeting.
The speedbumps will be installed near the playgrounds on Sheldon Drive and Island Cove Road, as well as near O’Brien’s Boat Tours on Lower Road, “as that is a busy pedestrian activity (area) in the summertime,” said O’Brien.
Town Manager Jennifer Aspell asked council to clarify whether it is only approving speed bumps for the three areas identified.
“It’s just my opinion, but I think we have too many on certain roads,” said O’Brien, adding that unless there is a concentration of children in the area, the bumps are probably not needed.
“That’s fine. I just wanted to make sure we had the list complete there,” said Aspell.
“I think we should focus around playground areas and busy pedestrian areas that cross local roads,” said O’Brien.
The list was approved unanimously.
